Chalay jo mukhalif koi mere hamrah
To ahbaab mere kahin mujh ko shatah
Suno mere ahbaab ik baat meri
Munasib hai mil kar chalein jab ho yak-rah
Yeh tana zani tum jo karte ho mujh par
Tumahray liye kab bana hon mein sarwah
Bohat gham sahy shab ki tarikeon mein
Umeed sehar mein hai jeeney ki atisah
Bohat hain zamane ke gham mere dar pay
Woh chanchal bhi ab kar rahi mujh ko gumraah
Woh kehti ke mein tairay dar pay nahi hon
Chalo maan letay hain ke hai yeh afwaah
Mein apne ilaqay ka tanha sipahi
Woh apne nagar ki khatarnaak robah
Guzarish hai mutarrab se aakf ki bas ik
Ke shab bhar ae mutarrab suna mujh ko ratwah
Arsalan Ahmed Akif
